his_o goodness_n and_o the_o stream_a of_o it_o our_o to_o the_o creature_n the_o whole_a earth_n be_v full_a of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o be_v all_o the_o creature_n but_o god_n

to_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n all_o be_v god_n goodness_n and_o then_o see_v this_o goodness_n fit_v to_o we_o it_o be_v a_o fit_a goodness_n that_o come_v from_o god_n he_o be_v good_a and_o do_v good_a and_o so_o fit_o he_o proportion_v his_o goodness_n for_o he_o have_v fit_v every_o part_n of_o we_o soul_n and_o body_n with_o goodness_n all_o the_o sense_n with_o goodness_n what_o do_v we_o

have_v clothing_n in_o hunger_n we_o have_v food_n in_o all_o necessity_n in_o all_o exigence_n we_o have_v fit_a consideration_n of_o god_n for_o all_o necessity_n whatsoever_o outward_a but_o then_o for_o our_o soul_n what_o food_n have_v he_o for_o that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n his_o own_o son_n to_o feed_v our_o soul_n the_o soul_n be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n and_o he_o think_v nothing_o good_a enough_o to_o feed_v it_o but_o his_o own_o son_n we_o feed_v on_o god_n love_n in_o give_v christ_n to_o death_n and_o on_o christ_n love_n in_o give_v himself_o to_o death_n the_o

as_o we_o may_v see_v god_n love_n in_o it_o then_o as_o god_n goodness_n be_v great_a and_o fit_a so_o it_o be_v near_o we_o it_o be_v not_o a_o goodness_n a_o far_o off_o but_o god_n follow_v we_o with_o his_o goodness_n in_o whatsoever_o condition_n we_o be_v he_o apply_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o near_o relation_n that_o he_o may_v be_v near_o we_o in_o

those_o that_o have_v then_o live_v in_o former_a time_n take_v david_n and_o paul_n and_o other_o holy_a man_n david_n wonder_v at_o his_o own_o love_n lord_n how_o do_v i_o love_v thy_o law_n and_o

law_n when_o the_o canon_n be_v so_o short_a they_o have_v only_a moses_n and_o some_o few_o book_n and_o we_o have_v the_o canon_n enlarge_v we_o have_v both_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n shall_v not_o we_o say_v much_o more_o how_o do_v i_o love_v thy_o law_n thy_o gospel_n and_o divine_a truth_n this_o shall_v shame_v we_o when_o they_o in_o dark_a time_n so_o love_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o we_o see_v all_o clear_a and_o open_a and_o yet_o be_v cold_a likewise_o it_o be_v good_a in_o this_o case_n to_o converse_v with_o those_o that_o be_v affectionate_a as_o face_n answer_v face_n so_o spirit_n answer_v spirit_n as_o iron_n sharpen_v iron_n so_o one_o sharpen_v another_o conversation_n with_o cold_a one_o will_v make_v one_o cold_a for_o the_o abundance_n of_o

may_v say_v much_o this_o way_n to_o stir_v we_o up_o and_o direct_v we_o how_o to_o love_v god_n but_o indeed_o nothing_o will_v so_o much_o enable_v we_o to_o love_n god_n as_o a_o new_a nature_n nature_n will_v love_v without_o provocation_n the_o fire_n will_v burn_v because_o it_o be_v fire_n and_o the_o water_n will_v moisten_v because_o it_o be_v water_n and_o a_o holy_a man_n will_v love_v holy_a thing_n because_o he_o be_v holy_a a_o spiritual_a soul_n will_v love_v spiritual_a thing_n because_o he_o be_v spiritual_a therefore_o beside_o all_o add_v this_o that_o our_o nature_n

a_o circumcise_a heart_n to_o love_n god_n we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v to_o love_n god_n for_o if_o nature_n be_v not_o renew_v there_o can_v be_v this_o new_a commandment_n of_o love_n why_o be_v love_n call_v a_o new_a commandment_n and_o a_o old_a commandment_n it_o be_v call_v old_a for_o the_o letter_n because_o it_o be_v a_o command_n in_o moses_n time_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n but_o now_o it_o be_v a_o new_a commandment_n because_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o spirit_n give_v by_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n sanctify_v we_o and_o write_v this_o affection_n in_o our_o heart_n it_o be_v write_v in_o stone_n before_o but_o now_o it_o be_v write_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o now_o there_o be_v new_a incentives_n and_o motive_n to_o love_n since_o christ_n come_v and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o new_a incouragment_n and_o provocation_n to_o love_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o new_a commandment_n from_o new_a ground_n and_o motion_n that_o be_v more_o a_o great_a deal_n then_o before_o christ._n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o new_a heart_n to_o obey_v this_o new_a command_n of_o love_n
